Prospect Notes: Rob Schremp and the Springfield Falcons

Guy Flaming has a great piece up at his site about where the Springfield Falcons sit right now. I'm going to post some of the highlights below with my thoughts, but I strongly suggest reading the whole thing.
- The conditional pick in the Sestito deal is a 7th rounder if Sestito plays 25 games with New Jersey next season. I'd been betting he'll play zero, but knwoing what we do about Lamoriello, I'd now strongly consider changing that '0' to '24'.
- Rob Schremp needs to clear waivers next season; he likely hopes to be claimed at this point.
- Young and Spurgeon may return on AHL deals. That makes a ton of sense.
- Trukhno may return to Europe; in all honesty, I'm a little surprised he's toughed it out through two AHL seasons.
- Motin, Plante and Kytnar are all expected to play roles in Springfield next season.
- Aaron Sorochan and Kurtis Mucha will both be at training camp; Sorochan's an interesting case and should be worth watching, while I don't know much about Mucha outside of his ugly stats lines in Portland. I'd be surprised if either surpassed Andrew Perugini in training camp.

Depending on the timing
I can see Atlanta, Columbus, San Jose, Toronto and the Flyers all taking a chance on him depending on timing and how their rosters shape up.

Sorochan dressed for the Oilers as a backup on an amateur tryout deal once, right?

I believe so, yes – I can’t remember why, though.

I would give Sorochan an outside chance of performing equally to Perugini. Chance is being used here in a Dumb and Dumber context in that I just think there’s a chance he could surprise.
I could see several teams taking fliers on Schremp at this point simply on the basis that the Oilers as an organization have a decent reputation league-wide for grooming problem children. See Cleary, Chimera, Torres, etc. I could see Columbus, the Rangers, the Islanders, and Detroit being possible applicants on the waiver wire. Good riddance.
Sorochan has a chance, Mucha a lesser one, but neither strikes me as being capable of forcing their way into the organizations plans.
I’d bet that the Islanders snag him if he’s sent down.
